As a reference. We can see how other countries are trying to work hard on the ocean.


Aircraft carrier. You can say it's useless. But you must have it.

Well in WWII for Japan, and for the Wester powers even in WWI, Aircraft carriers converted from Cargo ships were very common. You just have supporting poles/stilts go up from the hold and framework of the cargo ships to support a platform which uses timber (in the Iranian case, steel sheets). Here is a Japanese early carrier from WWII. A bit detailed but you get the idea.

Our INS Vikramaditya is built by Russia. Why don't you read something before exposing your ignorance every time.
According to common sense in our human world ~ INS Vikramaditya, made in the Soviet Union. 🤣

I'm sorry to inform you. From 1991 to 2024. Russia never builds aircraft carriers.

Brother @Jiangnan - are there naval variants of 红旗-19 and 红旗-22 missiles to counter Hyper Glide Missiles on recent make Chinese Destroyers? Can these be fitted on Frigates?

What was soviet union? It was United state of Soviet Russia. Some small countries separated from Russia. You bought your first aircraft Lining from the Ukraine, a soviet union Nation. So don't brag here. Check your own history first.
Post USSR disintegration, Russia focused on Submarines. Even USSR made submarines had as much displacement as your carrier. During WWII, German warships were as heavy as your aircraft carrier.

Carriers are nearing the end of their usefulness in modern military's. Iran's far smarter in utilizing its FOB (forward operating bases) concept and now cheap converted tankers and turning them into drone carriers.

Replicating a Nimitz class today is not only foolish, but a total waste of money.

The D. Eisenhower recently fled the red sea after being subjected to a 3 anti-ship ballistic missile attack and bracketed by 17 drones. Lost an F-18E during the confusion too and its strike packages just struck houthi port infrastructure.
